Attacks on women's rights continue at astounding levels, but women are organizing and fight back. Thousands took to the streets in celebration of International Women's Day March 7-10 to demand an end to violence against women. From Arkansas to North Dakota and across the country, women are fighting back against outrageous attacks on reproductive rights. Within hours, hundreds of people sent letters to the governor of North Dakota urging him not to sign anti-woman bills in that state. In Steubenville, Ohio and all over the world, women are rising up in solidarity with victims of sexual violence and making it clear that the status quo must go!
